"Emerson's comprehensive innovation process, focused on the user, ensures that the Sensi product line stays true to its promise of simplicity," said Dennis Marcell Victor, senior analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "A tremendous amount of thought goes into every detail of the hardware, software and mobile app.  Features are only added when there is a high level of confidence that it enhances the overall user experience."

Designed to reduce heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) energy consumption by about 23% with features such as flexible scheduling, remote access, geofencing proximity detection and circulating fan technology, the Sensi product line helps users manage their comfort and air quality. As an ENERGY STAR® certified solution, Sensi offers further cost savings through utility rebates based on real-world data and user interaction with the product and its energy-saving features.

"Temperature, humidity and air movement are key variables for human comfort and health," said Bob Sharp, executive president of Emerson's Commercial & Residential Solutions business. "We set out to create a thermostat that would provide this comfort-focused user experience and best-in-class installation at an affordable price point. The consumer response has been exceptional, leading our thermostat to be among the top-rated thermostats on Amazon and beyond, and we are grateful for the recognition from Frost & Sullivan as we continue innovating to meet customer needs."

Sensi's software solutions provide seamless control to homes and families through mobile devices and smart home platforms, such as Amazon Alexa, the Google Assistant, Wink and Apple HomeKit™. Users can receive up-to-date use reports through email to track HVAC energy consumption.  

"Emerson backs up its strong product portfolio with outstanding  customer service, ensuring extremely competitive price-performance value," noted Victor.
